This game was created in Unreal 4 and released on Steam in 2019. It was planned and scripted for around a year and then implemented for an additional year. Beating A Dead Horse With A One-Trick Pony is a first-person RPG (ArtPG) with a linear narrative, melee combat, and some platforming elements. The game is a sequel to Jeff Koons Must Die!!!, and starts in the same destroyed museum that the previous game ended in.
The game comprises six levels and you must escape each successive area in order to progress through the story. You will enlist the help of some old friends to help along the way and, hopefully, uncover your own path.
2018. Digital download. Playable video game.
